So, yeah, I had a birthday on Monday. It was great, thanks for asking. What would have been a drawback, except for the presence of a dear friend who was in the same boat, was that it was time to get my license renewed. This is a big deal, because I have loved LOVED my old license picture. See?

It's, like, better than my wedding pictures, for goodness sakes. Who knows how terribly accurate this next license picture will be? I like looking better on my license than I do in reality. Ironic much? Because, QUESTION: when do I ever show my license when I'm NOT there to give testament to the fact that it's a charitable depiction of me? ummm, wait...ANSWER: now.

In similar news, why does Sam's even have a pixilated ID picture on their membership cards? It never even looks remotely like the cardholder.

I was going to post some pictures just now. But, I opened my "Family 2010" picture folder, and there was virtually nothing there. Okay, there were two bad pictures of my kids. The other 800 pictures are still on my camera.

I know that I dropped off the face of the blogosphere. (I hate that term, but whatever.) Anyway, there's lots of good reasons:

2. The power cord from my computer won't stay put, so it doesn't charge...or give power when my battery isn't charged. So, the laptop is usually out of commission. I think it's time we get a new computer. I could use advice. I'm very indecisive and take a LONG time to make biggish decisions.

3. I want to make the most of the little time I have left with my kids. It hit me recently that Avery is halfway to 18 years old. The first nine years went by too fast. I want to savor the vapor of this life.

So, if I have time, power (battery or AC, of course) and no major projects, I'll check-in here. At the very least, I hope to get some pictures up for the kids' biggest fans (aka Grandparents).
